Issues have to be clarified, as wordings could be wrong, one has to
contact parties. You could contact parties and ask them to clarify
those proprietary issues. It is possible maybe to remove proprietary
parts. 

FSDG distributions should not drive people to proprietary. 

Those parts could maybe get rewritten as free software.

I also think that FSDG distributions should try to resolve the issue
before removing LaTeX.
